Tehran, YJC. Iran's Zarif and Slovenia’s Pahor explored avenues for the promotion of bilateral relations between Tehran and Ljubljana.

Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad and Slovenian
President Borut Pahor In the meeting held on Sunday on the sidelines of the
51st Munich Security Conference discussed a whole range of issues, including
the latest regional and international developments.

For his part, the Slovenian president emphasized that given
Iran’s position and power, the country plays a "very prominent role” in
resolving the regional crises.

He further pointed to the ongoing negotiations between Iran
and six major world powers over Tehran’s nuclear activities, and expressed the
hope that the issue would resolve quickly.

Iran and the Group 5+1 (Russia, China, the US, Britain,
France and Germany) are in talks to hammer out a final agreement to end more
than a decade of impasse over Tehran’s nuclear energy program.

Iran and the six powers look to reach a framework agreement
in March and a final long-term deal by June 30.

Following an interim nuclear deal signed in Geneva in
November 2013, two deadlines for a final, comprehensive deal have been missed,
and now a third one is looming on July 1.
